While searching for software for a friend who is tied to M$ I ran searches for prices on a number of well-known and expensive packages. The spread of legitimate prices for the same thing was astonishing.

One site, however, appeared to be entirely too good to be true: soft-field.net. I began to suspect this was a variant of soft-file.net, which is hosted in Russia. Here's a sample offering:
adobe-creative-suite-6

A check with network whois told me it was located in Croatia (country code HR for "Hrvatska"). Other sources mentioned Ukraine. There was even an old mention of St. Petersburg, Russia.

What these locations have in common is difficulty with prosecution for network scams. There were also mentions on-line of malware associated with downloads, as at file-sharing sites.
